OUTAGE UPDATE: Warming shelter at Penn Brook

In the aftermath of a nor’easter that hit the area Wednesday and Thursday, much of Georgetown is left without power.

The town has a warming center for residents at Penn Brook Elementary School, opening at 6 p.m. Thursday, with entry to the left of the building.

There will be limited supplies at the warming center, so Police Chief Donald Cudmore urges residents to use the shelter as a last resort and bring a blanket, clothing, medications, non-perishable food, supplies and drinking water.

"If possible shelter in place if you have the ability to do so and secure your property the best you can," Cudmore said in a statement Thursday afternoon. "Secure your property as you see fit and attempt to find shelter with family and/or friends in a community that is not experiencing the outage."
